Common Questions and Answers about Can antibiotics cause jock itch
antibiotics
herpes won't just cause itching. you were on antibiotics, it is probably just jock itch and you can treat that with otc products. if you think it's more than jock itch, be seen again for a work up.
Your husband may get a fungal infection called jock itch. Fugacil cream can help eliminate the fungus, clear the rash and relieve the itch. To be sure, you should ask him to get tested by a doctor. Rash on the scrotum can be caused by a number of factors, including jock itch, chafing, intertrigo, contact dermatitis, crabs or pubic lice and even an STD.
can jock itch move to your penis? i have had it for months now and can only keep it under control w powder, not get rid of it. when i have sex w/my girlfriend, afterwards my penis gets red, raw and gets little cracking in the skin right under the head of my penis, some small amount of itching. has the jock itch moved to my penis or is this something else? i might add there are no sores or anything like that. it seems to heal and only get raw after sex.
odds are your newest symptoms are fungal since you are on antibiotics. you can try an otc jock itch cream to see if that helps.
you had protected sex so no reason for hiv testing or the bacterial std's. the risk of herpes from an one time protected encounter is very low. we actually don't recommend even testing for it to be honest. if you do feel you need the peace of mind, you need to wait 3 months post encounter to get herpes igg blood testing done.
So the itch came after the antibiotics? It could be a mild yeast infection or jock itch, which is really common after antibiotic use.
Follow up with your doctor.
I have seen mentioned in many answers that jock itch is no indication of any underlying immune problem. Why do many web sites that talk about jock itch say that it may in fact be do to a weakened immune system. I have a nagging case of jock itch, which has been on and off for about a month, and has now seemed to spread to my anus area. Thank you in advance for your answer.
which helped tremendously.. I developed ‘jock itch’.. severly.... so was instructed to use a prescription jock itch cream. Once all that was resolved the original issue resurfaced. I could scream!!! This itch is horrendous. It sometimes has a grey ‘residue’ in the area, other times.. its dry and flakey. I cant seem to get ahead of this. Are there options I could try... I scratch to bleeding at times in my sleep... and wake up in pain and a totally flared up itch. Thank you.
And everytime I take certain antibiotics, I get it too. The doctor tells us that using Lamisil for jock itch is an anti fungal and can be used by my husband to treat it. while I use the pill and monostat. but we cant have any sex whatsoever until we are both treated completely. Also, if he doesnt get treated, he will just give it back to you over and over again. If you want to hear something funny, I even get yeast infections with condoms too.
Though it is called jock itch, it may not itch always. Usually a reddish rash or area of darkened or tanned skin appears on penis/scrotum/groin fold/adjacent thighs. This is often accompanied by a burning or tingling sensation.
Also the diagnosis of jock itch appears to be correct since the sensation responded to application of an antifungal and the rash has dried up and is becoming scaly. The treatment may take about 4-5 weeks to produce complete results.
I have a rash in my groin area. Ive had jock itch for a while now, but recently ive had intensely itchy rashes on my foreskin as well. The rash is made of small bumps and lines that swell when i scrath them, and they appear to be filled with pus. The rash appears for about a week, then disappears for a week. This cycle repeats itself. When the rash on penis appears, the outer ring of my jock itch gets inflamed as well. I have never had sex, nor have i had any sexual/intimate contact.
jock itch, erythrasma, psoriasis inverse,... and given treatment for these various definitions. Got corticosteroids in creams & pills, ellidel, moisturising creams, anti-fungals, anti-allergy topical and local, tar cream, sulfur cream, vitamin D, antibiotics, etc... Nothing helped to stop the itch. Some of the treatments though rash was cleared by some of them.
I have had what seems like 3rd degree jock itch for about 4 weeks now. I have tryed 5 over the counter creams and one other, now im using the spray. I have changed soaps and laid out in the sun many times. i stoped waring cloths at home and have not put on underwarer in weeks. I shower twice daily, pat and blow dry the area. Luckily im laid off!!
Now my problem.
My husband is diagnosed with prostatitis. He also seems to have jock itch and now it appears like he has hemrroids. I want to know does protatitis cause hemrroids or could he be experiencing something else. He has had alot of extramarital activities and has tested negative for STDs as far as I know. What else should I be looking for when talking to the doctor. They seem to see him rapidly and diagnosed him with prostatits and jock itch. The hemrroids is new and we havent gone to a doctor yet.
I had sex with a new partner for the first time in a long while and two weeks later discovered I had contracted Chlamydia. About another 2 weeks later I took 1g Azithromycin and a week after that was cleared up. Now it's about 1.5 months after that contact (no further sexual contact since that one time) and my scrotum is starting to itch. Particularly the underside where it contacts the thighs. I've watched closely for several days and there is no sign of any sores forming (Herpes?
s syndrome on my Pee Pee, or more accurately on the skin around my upper thigh, crotch, scrotum and rectum. Foul smelling, burning, itching jock-itch of some kind that seems impervious to any ointment my doctor has prescribed. I've used women's vag cream for yeast infection, athletes-foot creams, anti-fungal creams, anti-fungal powders, shaving the hair off my genitals, every deodorant soap known to mankind and even Dry Idea underarm deodorant to cover up the smell.
